Oona King House Music

My book House Music was published in 2007 and is an inside look at what it's really like to work in Parliament while juggling 'normal' life at the same time. It's about to be released as an ebook, details here shortly. This is an interview I gave shortly after publication.

“Although politics is my greatest passion, it is not my only passion. It probably takes up no more than half this book.
